The Harper Standpipe is a standpipe built during 1886-87 in Harper, Kansas. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.[1][2]

It was deemed notable "for its association with community planning and development and ... for its engineering method of construction. It is a unique example of a late 19th century standpipe with a base constructed of local materials and a standpipe constructed of riveted iron plates. The fish wind direction indicator on top still moves, and the standpipe is in current use as a part of the city water system."[2]
